DETROIT -- Ryan Raburn hit a grand slam home run in Chicago on Sunday and extended his hitting streak to seven games with two hits Tuesday against Texas.

At that point, it appeared that maybe he had broken out of an extended slump that lasted for the majority of the first two months of the season.

But he has gone 0-for-7 with five strikeouts in three games since then. In a 3-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Friday, Raburn struck out three times and saw his average fall to .200.

Tigers manager Jim Leyland was asked whether Raburn was pressing at the plate.

"Yeah, I think so," he said. "I don't think there's any question about that. I think he's pressing a little bit and trying to get in a groove with his swing and probably putting extra pressure on himself."

Leyland said he would give Raburn some time off this weekend as the Tigers complete a four-game series against the Mariners.

"I'm going to get him out of there tomorrow," Leyland said. "Get him away from it for maybe a couple days and see what happens. I don't think there's any question he's fighting himself."
